This listing is for new Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position 255/45R18 99Y BSW Tires. Manufacturer part number: 120879. Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position is specially designed for high performance sports car drivers for excellent functioning in wet and dry conditions. It has silica-rich performance compound shaped into an innovative asymmetric tread pattern that provides optimum performance in wet and dry conditions. Its high angle tread blocks in the intermediate ribs boost longitudinal stiffness for enhanced straight-line braking forces and its slanted lateral grooves pump water into wide circumferential grooves that resists hydroplaning. While the continuous circumferential ribs beside the inside shoulder blocks improves wear quality for a lesser noise throughout the tire's life.

The load index (LI) is a 2 or 3 digit number that corrolates to the maximum amount of weight the tire can carry. For example, a tire with a load index of 87 indicates that the tire can carry a maximim load of 1,201 lbs. In the case of our example the 87 identifies the tires ability to carry a maximum of 1,201 lbs. So 4 tires will carry a maximum of 4,804 lbs. Refer to your vehicle owner's manual for the recommended minimim Load Index. It is not recommended to install tires with a lower Load Index. By doing so, this could cause your tires to be overloaded thus potentially causing a blowout.... read moreread less

Speed Rating

Y

Speed Ratings (SR) are based on laboratory tests and indicates the maximum speed the tire can achieve. These tests are based on limited time trials. Higher speed rating tires typically will yield better handling capabilities, but may often result in lower mileage. Refer to your vehicle owner's manual for the recommended minimum Speed Rating. It is not recommended to install a tire with a lower speed rating as it could affect the handling of your vehicle. It is important to note that speed ratings only apply to tires that have not been damaged, altered, under-inflated or overloaded. Additionally, most tire manufacturers maintain that a tire that has been cut or punctured no longer retains the tire manufacturer's original speed rating, even after being repaired because the tire manufacturer can't control the quality of the repair.... read moreread less

Ply Rating

Not Available

Ply Rating is related to the max load capacity. This value can be defined with a letter or number. The higher the number/letter, the higher the load capacity.

UTQG

280AAA

To help consumers evaluate their tires, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) created the Uniform Tire Quality Grading System (UTQG). The UTQG rates tires are rated on their tread-wear, traction performance, and temperature resistance. The grade for each of these can be found on the sidewall of your tire (except for winter tires and certain light truck tires). Click here for more information.... read moreread less

Max Single Load(lbs)

1709

The maximum load this tire will support. Remember to multiply this number by the number of tires installed on your vehicle to get the maximum carrying capacity. This number is directly related to the Load Index.

Max Single Air Pressure(PSI)

51

The maximum air pressure this tire will support. This does not represent the amount of air pressure your tires should have at all times. Consult with your owner's manual to determine the best air pressure you should use for your vehicle.

Tread Depth

10.0

The amount of tread on the tire. Once the tire is worn to 2/32nds, it is considered fully used and should be replaced at that time. Most tires will have tire indicators in the grooves of the tire to help you determine when the tires are worn down to 2/32nds.

Tread Design

Asymmetrical

Nondirectional - most common, same tread pattern on inside & outside of the tire. Can be rotated to all four corners of vehicle. Asymmetrical - tread pattern is different on the inside to the outside of the tire, and must be mounted properly. Can be rotated to all four corners of the vehicle.

Payment

Super sticky in the heat

These came highly recommended for my Pontiac G8 on the G8 forum and they did not dissapoint. Price was very competitive if not better than others in the class and the drive really well as if the car is on rails. I have not tested them in wet conditions to be fair.
